The White Man in the New South.

A noticeable article under this title, by
Mr.. Wilbur Fisk Tillett of Vanderbilt uni
verslty, Nashville, Tenn, is presented in
the current number of the century Mugd-
zinc. In this its author sets forth forcibly
the progress made by the South in the past
seven years in agricultural prosperity
manufactures, education and literature.
He states that the increase of agricultural
products from 1850 to 1885, in the South
ern States, shows an increase of Sl20, 600, :
600 +; the manufacturing products an in
crease of Sl30000,000 and the stock and
dairy products of $3S 900, 600. The total of
these products has grown from 81 ,00l,-
OO0,O 900 to 81 1903, 600, 000-a gain of 1902, 600
600. And he asserts that more than the
entire increase, being half of the whole,
comes from industries which have sprung
up in the South since the war The
wealth of the South, he says, has increased
forty one per cent in the last five years
being an increase of wealth exceeding the
increase of population by twenty-five per
cent-this addition to their capital being
made wholly by the whites as the blacks
seldom accumulate anything. This he
says is a far better showing than was ever
made during any five years of the period
of slavery.
The South, Mr.. Tilett says, is expanding
on public education twice as much as it
expended five years ago and five times as
much as in 1870. The Southern white is
giving to the schools more out of his pov-
erty since the war than he ever gave of
his wealth in the days of slavery
In regard to literature the effect of slavery
in its day was enervating. 1t produced
literary sterility. But the South is no
longer content with it's literary poverty
and more real = literary work has
been done in the past fifteen years by
Southern writers than was done in all its
history before the war. The intellect of
the South, Mr.. Tillett says, has been
emancipated by the destruction of slavery
He also maintains that it would be easy
to show that the South is morally better
than before the war-and this can be
readily believed. The article does not 20
into political considerations, yet at one
point it touches on politics, incidentally,
in mentioning the fact of the growing
sentiment at the South in favor of pro
tecton-the natural result of its having
manufacturing interests to be fostered by
protection. This change of opinion on
the subject of free trade ought logically
to result in inducing the Southern voters
to cut loose from the party of free trade
and ally themselves, to some extent at
least, with the republican party, which is
the only party in favor of the protection
of American industry. But this, in view
of the hold the democratic party has had
in the South for two generations past, can
only be the work of time

The Edmunds-Tucker Bill.

Some uncertainty respecting the provi-
sions of the'new Edmunds- Tucker Mormon
bill, as well as disquietude regarding its
effectiveness, seems to prevail in the public
mind. There are those who assert that it is
a step backward and cannot prove as effec-
tive as the law formerly in operation. Such
fears, however, seem to be groundless.
The Senate bill, as first prepared was
carefully drawn in considerable part
by Senator Edmunds. 1t passed
the Senate and was made still
more comprehensive by the House.
Finally having been modified by confer
ence committee, it was passed by large
majorities in both houses Those who are
of opinion that this hill is less severe than
its predecessor will do well to consult its
provisions against polygamy the public
ity of marriages which it requires its dis
solution of the two great interpretations,
the Emigration Fund company and the
Mormon church, and the sections pre-
scribing registration of voters, and test
oath as conditions TO the right of suffrage.
1t is not an ambiguous or loose statute.
There is perhaps one weak point in it,
which, however, may not prove to be a
weak point, after all. This is the striking
from the Edmunds bill of the provision
that the governor of the territory should
appoint the territorial officers. In place
of this the officers will again be elective
so that, II the Mormons can succeed in
evadins or overriding the test oath
they will again acquire control.
This provision of the new bill caused the
Mormons to celebrate its passage with
various demonstrations of delight, and in
dications are said to be multiplying that
they will take the oath and vote in large
numbers. But il remains to be seen, how
many of them will be allowed to qualify.
We question whether they can override
the test oath as they propose. In the
hands of the right sort of commissioners
the Edmunds- Tucker law need not put
the government of the territory back into
the hands of the Mormons. How it will
work in practice remains to be seen.

a brief on the subject of the fisheries
dispute was submitted by the Dominion
government to the colonial office at Lon
don, some two months since. Its princi.
pal features have been made public, &C
companied by a proposition looking to the
settlement of the question at issue.
The Dominion government asserted
that after the failure to renew the treaty
of Washington Canada determined to
defend the three mile limit Gov
cred by the treaty of 1918, .and proceeded
to warn all trespassing fishermen off the
in shore waters. The American local au-
thorities, the brief says, thereupon issued
trading licenses to fishing schooners. The
Canadians replied "They are fishing
vessels and therefore, according to treaty,
cannot trade" 1t was therefore in &C
cordance with treaty rights that these yes
sells were prohibited the privileges of Can
adian ports.
With respect to the bait question. the
manifesto says: The Canadians hold
that buying live bait that has been
caught within the three mile limit
is practically the same thing as fishing
within the three mile limit, even were
there no treaty in the premises" But
from the fact that the treaty of 1918 gave
the United States a special right to secure
bait on the Magdalen islands and the
coasts of Newfoundland, the Canadians
argue that no such concession could have
been implied in the clause allowing Ameri-
can fishermen to enter the Canadian
waters in order to obtain wood, water and
shelter or repairs.
So much for the narrow argument of the
Dominion government. Now what is the
proposition Canada offers for the settle
Element of the fisheries question? 1t is
that, in view of the extent of the interests
involved, commission of five be appoint
ed, the United States to name two, Canada
one, Newfoundland one and some Euro
pean power the fifth to decide the ques-
tons at issue. This is the fairest PROPOSE
ton that Canada has yet made. 1t is to
be hoped that some agreement of this kind
can be arrived at, and that the dispute
may be amicably settled before another

The amendment offered by Mr.. Ed
mnnds to the legislative appropriation
bill giving $4,000 to the bureau of labor
for the collection of statistics Of marriage
and divorce throughout the country was
adopted and is now law. In the hands
of the experienced commissioner, Hon.
Carroll ID. Wright, with an admirably or
gained force for such work, the country
may look for report of great value con
tanning information absolutely essential
to wise discussion and legislation on the
subject. 1t is but his due to add that Mr..
Edmunds was the first among members
of Congress to see the importance of this
particular step and has steadily urged and
watched it In the Senate. Congressman
Stewart and Grout in the last Congress
and Judge Poland In the previous Con
gress also rendered efficient support to the
measure.

The city of Chicago is admitted to nave
the best board of health and the best
plumbing and sanitary regulations of any
large American city. The statistics show
the value of these precautions. In 1881,
the population of that city was $4,000 and
the total mortality 1854, being a death
rate of 25. 90 per 1000 inhabitants, In 1885,
when the population had increased to 704,-
OOO the mortality was 1869. death rate
of 10. 43 per 1000. The number Of deaths in
Chicago in 1856 was actually less than in
1881, although the population had increased
during the interval 30 per cent. Had the
deaths in 1856 been in proportion to the
increase of population since 1881 they
would have been 1887 more than they
were so that we may fairly conclude that
the improvement of sanitary regulations
in Chicago within the past five years has
saved the lives OF more than 1000 of its in
habitants

means to secure the strictest neutrality of

The effect Of oil in calming heavy seas
was exemplifed in the case of the Eng
llsh steamer "Fernholme, just arrived
in New York. The "Fernholme" was
caught in a cyclone and laoored in the
tempest that succeeded for nearly ten
days, but as soon as oil bags were hung
over each bow and each quarter, the waves
ceased to break over the vessel, and it rode
in comparative quiet in the midst of the
tempest. Only thirty gallons of oil were
used. 1t might not be bad idea for the
Standard Oil company to contract to keep
a smooth passage way between Liverpool
and New York.
